The match of the day is between Stokesley SC, who were deposed as leaders last weekend, and unbeaten North Shields. The pair are equal on points but Stokesley are ahead of their rivals with a better goals difference.

Ben Escritt is free from suspension and also returning to a full-strength Stokesley side are Grant Hine and Richard Hore.

North Shields have doubts surrounding the fitness of Paul Ross and Michael Kelly but defenders Mark Cass and James Anderson are expected to resume.

Leaders New Marske host Harton and Westoe with Richard Booth and Stephen Hodgson both available while Cleadon SC, second from top, play their first home game of the season at Jack Clark Park with Darlington RA the opponents.

Jarrow entertain Annfield Plain at Perth Green missing Philip Dolphin and Andrew Barclay. Liam Richardson will take over in goal. Ryhope CW host Washington Nissan UK with injury doubts concerning Ian Tindle and Kevin Bennison while Ferryhill Athletic, at home to Wolviston, are pleased that no fewer than six players come back into the reckoning - Lee Jewitt, Dean Harkus, Ryan Stonehouse, Dave Heslop, Howard Anderson and Daniel Robinson.

Wolviston, who suffered their heaviest defeat in years last week, will make changes.

Returning to the squad are John Patterson, Gareth Murphy, Simon Colligan, Craig Watson, Carl Brunskill and Paul Jewitt but goalkeeper Simon Clark is still ruled out and Chris Norton will continue to deputise.
